--Boundary_(ID_sPUheL+z9EjkKCTok55rGg) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT David and Fritz et al., I don't recall anything specific, but I recall seeing checklists at least from John Erskine and from ?? Schofield for bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) for Nova Scotia or perhaps the Kejimkujik Park area? Also I have a few photo guides from Britain and from B.C. for common bryophytes plus ferns, etc. Perhaps Ruth Newell knows of some info' available via the Acadia Biology/E.C. Smith Herbarium.
